How to Dress Like a Washingtonian

by Chris Abraham on 05/07/2005 ·

We in Washington have always known that there is an Inside-the-Beltway uniform for dressing in order to fit in. At the Hill Mole, this is referred to as Cap Hill Camo:

“the most appropriate camouflage for not standing out in the Nation’s Capitol is a pair of khakis, a blue button-down, a white undershirt, a pair of penny loafers, blue socks, a yellow tie, a black or brown belt, and a blue blazer with gold buttons.”

Then you will probably never fit in. And fitting in has nothing to do with who you are but rather it has everything to do with whether someone can trust you, in shorthand.
